SF-901 WinDyn Data Acquisition System

Overview

The SF-901 engine dynamometer was a workhorse in engine testing from the day it was released in 1982. Thousands of SF-901 engine dynos were produced and hundreds if not thousands are still in use today. The problem, the data acquisition system was designed in 1978 so it lacks features and capacity to adequately test modern engines and the majority of the electrical components required to service the data acquisition and control system are no longer available.

To help, we’ve developed a conversion kit to replace the dated SF-901 electronics with our latest WinDyn 3.2 data acquisition and control system. This upgrade allows SF-901 owners to keep the functional mechanical portion of their dynos and upgrade to the latest WinDyn data acquisition and control system making the dyno perform like new for less than half the cost.

The SF-ED-901 conversion package includes

New sensor box with 139 user configurable data channels

16 channel thermocouple panel

10 channel pressure panel

2 pre-configured air fuel inputs (0-10v)

New control console to control tests, control engines and control the entire test cell

New computer system factory configured with WinDyn 3.2, two 22 in. LCD monitors and a color printer

New operator desk with integrated throttle handle and cable replaces the existing hydraulic throttle system

The current WinDyn system is ¼ the size and 100 times more powerful than the SF-901 giving you more data channels, better testing methods, higher resolution test data and a suite of modern testing tools to get the most out of your engines. WinDyn is easy to use, ready to run and ready to adapt to your needs.

Major benefits of the SF-ED-901 conversion package

Keep the functional mechanical portions of the SF-901, saving money

Data acquisition rates up to 2,500Hz - an increase of 100 times over the previous 20Hz rate for higher resolution data and finer analysis of engine performance

Spend two days training on the function and operation of the new system

Data Acquisition

SuperFlow’s WinDyn® 3.2 Software is the most feature rich system available for dynamometers today. We’ve included all the tools you need to make a SuperFlow® dynamometer a successful piece of your business. WinDyn® is preconfigured with industry standard tests to get you up and running quickly. But, we didn’t stop there… We’ve also developed powerful configuration and test editors that offer you complete, customized control of the dynamometer, the test cell and the tests you’re running.

The SuperFlow sensor box is the brain of the 139 channel WinDyn data acquisition system. Its advanced electronics measures high-resolution data at up to 2,500 Hz depending on the channel and sends the data to the operator station via a simple Ethernet connection for live monitoring.

SuperFlow engine dynos come standard with a purpose built operator station that include a control console to control tests, control engines and control the entire test cell from one console. A throttle cable, computer with two 22 in. LCD monitors and an operator table that seamlessly integrates each part of the system round out the setup.
